Just to get an idea this is what the conversion to US dollars is. I know there are many more factors than just a straight conversion. I just wanted to throw it out there.

Core $356.52
Premium $495.48
Elite $594.58

Odion6095d ago

Mikelarry6095d ago

but you have to be a BT broadband customer that some bs. i pay 10 pounds with sky for 16 megs i dont wanna join bt and pay 24 pounds just so i can get iptv.

crazyman6095d ago

Have they confirmed that you need BT broadband? I was kinda hoping they may offer it as a seperate service because last time I had BT broadband it sucked.

If this is true, thats good news for me, as my girlfriend is getting me a 360 next friday :D

Was going to get one myself a while ago, but she said wait.. i will get you one sometime soon.

Means i will have spare money to put towards a PS3 when the price finally comes down.. no way am i paying £400 or more for a console, plus it doesnt have that much games out for it at the moment.. and games is what its all about.

SpenserTracy6095d ago

You will miss out on so much fun. The 360 hardware is not made to hold up. 1 year and your hardware will break, they will not give you free warranty forever you know. But thats just my opinion, I understand you if you buy a 360, it's cheap. But it is not a bargain...

testerg356095d ago

Sorry, but that sounds really bad that PS3 fans are now begging people not to buy a 360.

LOFT3166095d ago

THe xbox will be coming down in price because of the elite is getting relesed on th 24th same day as the price drop make's sense and Tone you can pick up a PS3 with two games and an extra controller for £399 or just a PS3 for £329

boi6095d ago

but there are better offers, like Playstation 3 for £425 2 controllers 3 game sof your choice at Virgin megastores...

but hey pick whatever console suits u :)

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis21h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast20h ago

It's worth a play through today.
